Don't, honey don't, go away, no no
|
Don't you hear, don't you hear,
|
What I say, what I say
|
Give me time, give me time
|
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
|
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
|
|
Now, you know that I love you dear with all my heart
|
I know that you didn't love me from the start
|
But I planted a lil' seed in your heart I know
|
And it just needs time to grow, baby
|
|
Don't, honey don't, go away, no no
|
Don't you hear, don't you hear,
|
What I say, what I say
|
Give me time, give me time
|
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
|
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
|
Listen to me honey now
|
|
How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
|
Had turned down his advances and played hard to get
|
He wouldn't have let this bother him, this I know
|
Because where there's light there's hope
|
Oh!
|
|
Baby, don't go away, no no
|
Don't you hear now, don't you hear now,
|
What I say, what I say
|
Give me time, give me time
|
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
|
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
|
|
Don't you hear me telling you that
|
Rome wasn't built in a day
|
Don't you realize that
|
Rome wasn't built in a day
|
